Specification of Letters Patent.

latented May 8, 1906.

Application filed May 25, 1905. Serial No. 262,224.

T all 1071,0771, it may concern.-

Be it known that I, ALBERT O. JONES, a citizen of the United States,residing at East Conneaut, in the county of Ashtabula and State of Ohio,have invented new and useful Improvements in Planes, of which thefollowing is a specification.

This invention is an improved bench-plane, and is characterizedparticularly by the fact that instead of having an adjustable blade in aone-piece stock, as usual, the plane has a stock formed with front andrear sections, to the latter of which the blade is fixed, and the frontsection can be raised or lowered to adjust the cut.

Other advantages and novelties of construction will more particularlyappear from the following description and the accompanying drawings.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a side elevation of the plane. Figs. 2 and2 are perspective views showing the sections of the stock separated, theblade and its holder being removed. Fig. 3 is an enlarged detail, invertical longitudinal section, illustrating the blade adjustment. Figs.4 and 5 are perspective views showing, respectively, the front and backof the blade, its holder, and cap. Fig. 6 is a cross-section of theblade and holder. Fig. 7 is a perspective view showing the manner ofattaching the handle to the stock.

Referring specifically to the drawings, the

front portion of the stock is indicated at 1,

and the rear portion at 2, the meeting line 3 being parallel to the lineof inclination of the blade 1. The blade is adjustably fixed to the rearsection 2 of the stock in a manner to be hereinafter described. Theparts 1 and 2 of the stock are connected together, so that they may beraised or lowered with respect to each other, thus bringing the sole ofthe part 1 more or less above the sole of the part 2, with the cuttingedge of the blade at the jog so produced, as clearly appears in Fig. 3,and inasmuch as the front portion 1 of the stock slides upon thestanding part of the work the cut or shaving corresponds in depth to thedifference between the planes of the soles of the respectivestoclesections.

The rear section 2 has a bed-plate 14,which has undercut grooves at thesides, as at 15. The front section 1 of the stock has at the rear arecessed plate 13, corresponding in inclination to the bed-plate 14, andthis plate 13 has at the sides of the recess tongues 16, which fit inthe grooves 15 behind the plate 14. The front piece 1 is cut out to formthe mouth 17, through which the blade projects.

The parts 1 and 2 are assembled by enter ing the upper end of the plate14 through the mouth 17 and sliding the parts on the diagonal line withthe tongues 16 in the grooves 15.

Projecting rearwardly from the plate 13 is a lug 9, having arms whichembracethe neck of a screw 11 between collars thereon. This screw istapped into the body of the rear section 2, and said body is slotted, asat 9 where the lug 9 extends through. By turning the screw 11 the parts1 and 2 are raised or lowered with respect to each other, the tongues 16in the grooves forming guides for the movement, and the blade beingfixed to the rear part 2 is thus caused to project more or less belowthe sole of the part 1.

The blade 4 rests against the bed-plate 14 and is held there by a holder5 and a cap 6, these parts being slotted for the clampingscrew 7, whichscrews into the hole 14" in the bed-plate. By means of the slots and thescrew the holder may be set in any desired position with respect to theblade, and the blade may be set in any desired position with respect tothe stock 2. It may be remarked in this connection that no matter howdeep the blade is set to cut its edge is supported by the bed-plate andchattering or springing is avoided.

The handle is indicated at 12 and is mounted upon the rear of thesection 2 by means of a dovetail tongue 19 and groove-block 18, fastenedby a screw 20.

The manner of adjusting the parts to vary the cut of the blade is easyand certain and may be quickly effected, since the blade and its holderdo not have to be loosened. A solid support for the blade is providedand it takes very readily into the work being planed.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. A plane the stock of which has front and rear sections, the rearsection having a bed to which the blade is clamped and the front sectionhaving a recessed plate engaging the sides of the bed and extendingacross behind the same, a rearwardly-extending lug proj ecting from theportion of the plate behind I j ects through said recess, and anadjustingthe bed, and an adjusting-screw between said lugand the rearsection.

2. A plane the stock of which comprises front and rear sections whichmeet at the throat and are adjustable with respect to each other to Varythe planes of the soles of the respective sections, the rear sectionhaving a bed with a blade clamped thereon, and the front section havingat its rear end a recessed plate fitting behind the bed which pro- Iscrew between said plate and the rear section.

In testimony whereof I have signed my 15 name to this specification inthe presence of two subscribing witnesses.
